12 Minute time capYes, the bar weights are heavy but you should be able to do the Rx number of reps unbroken when fresh. Use the practice round to determine how much weight you should be using in the wod. The most important thing is to do the entire workout within the time cap.

If your breaks in the air squats are longer than 10 seconds you should scale the number of reps. Yes, it’s totally cool to scale the number of reps but it not ok to say you did 50 when you only did 35. In other words, if you need or want to scale the number of air squat reps make that decision at the beginning of the workout and stick with it. If you decide to Rx the number of squats stick with that but make sure you maintain a pace that will allow you to finish the workout.
